    Anyone else finding this really difficult. It's like double Dutch, I just sit in the lectures not really knowing what's going on? Unfortunate it's a core subject and I have to do it for my degree. Just hoping it all clicks in to place eventually. But can anyone offer some advice to speed things along?

    Go onto The Khan Academy online. They provide video tutorials with pretty good explanations of certain economic topics. :)

    Is this B.Comm?

    Exam is a p1sstake, 80 MCQ's! Most of them are obvious, you can guess loads anyway

    Now it's a few years since I'd have done it so may have changed but if it's the same you're sound

    Have you considered looking at grinds?

    They can be expensive but having someone going through it one-on-one can be very helpful. I know Dominick Barrett (Masters student in Finance) tutors economics for the School of Economics so he might be worth a look.

    Make sure you attend the lectures/tutorials. You won't learn anything you can't teach yourself, but lecturers have a habit of purposefully hiding assignments and other information in obscure parts of Blackboard to punish students who don't need their pish little slideshows to pass the course.
